Tips for cooking with the wok
The induction wok is eminently suitable for preparing “á la minute” dishes, in particular Chinese
specialities. The food is continuously turned during the short frying time. The induction heating system
means that in the wok you can cook extremely quickly and at high heat. As a result meat and fish remain
succulent and vegetables retain colour, taste and vitamins.
Take care! Risks of burns from overheated fats and oils. The induction wok has – especially at heat
setting 7 and above – a high power with extremely fast reaction time. Fat and oil overheat very quickly.
When it starts to smoke, it is too hot. When cooking with fat or oil do not leave the appliance unattended.
The frying temperature can be estimated by testing with a wooden spoon. Hold the handle of a wooden
spoon in the hot fat:
– If small bubbles rise to the surface, the frying temperature has been reached.
– If there are no bubbles, the frying temperature has not yet been reached.
Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing
starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest
possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.
Handling the wok
• Place the wok pan into the wok niche carefully. If handled carelessly, the handle can hit the glass
ceramic surface and damage it.
• Do not shake the wok pan while it is in the wok niche. The glass ceramic surface can be scratched or
damaged by the handle.
Cookware for the induction wok - Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …
• ... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
• ... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 is heated very quickly.
The cookware can make noises while working on induction cooking zones. These noises are not a fault in
the appliance and do not affect operation in any way.
Cookware with a flat bottom must not be used.
